I’m a little confused. Also, delighted.
I want the staff of the Allston, MA IHOP to know that I will donate $100 to charity if they add this prose to the menu. Who else is with me?
In the China-watcher sphere he is known as “The Mustache”, check out the short and very funny spoof, by Gaddy Epstien, of “The 'Stache” commenting on China’s direction: http://popupchinese.com/lessons/sinica/a-tom-friedman-exclusive
I wish IHOP wasn’t USA-only. (Ironic, that.)
See also XKCD’s House of Pancakes.
In many corners of the internet he is referred to as the Moustache of Understanding.

My favorite spoof has to be, “Thomas Friedman Clogged my Toilet,”

I seem to remember IHOP in the 70’s and 80’s offering not only international style pancakes, but things like stir fries, different pasta and seafood dishes like fish and chips to keep the ‘international theme’.

I hate pancakes too!
